Student Travel Grants

IEEE BlackSeaCom 2018 offers limited number of travel grants to the students who registered and co-authored an accepted paper in IEEE BlackSeaCom 2018, on competition basis. Each award is 200 USD subject to the travel reimbursement. Conditions for receiving an award are as follows:
